As Summer draws to a close, lots of events and opportunities coming up in Peterborough Diocese

Here at the Youth Mission Team, we hope you are having a fantastic Summer, whatever you are doing. Many of you will be at Soul Survivor, Camps or Beach Missions – it would be great to see any pictures or hear how you’re getting on. Send them to us on our social media Instagram, Twitter @pborodioyouth or Facebook Peterborough Diocese Youth

Get in touch with Becky directly on becky.wills@peterborough-diocese.org.uk There will be opportunities to meet up as a Diocese, as Young Leaders, as Youth groups and also for Clergy and Church Leaders’ Kids to get together with us on site over the weekend, in the beautiful surroundings at Boughton House.

AUTUMN EVENTS

We have some Re:Charge Youth Leader events coming up and are in the process of booking more. Let us know if this is something you would like in your area. The sessions are either simply networking youth leaders and helpers together informally, or providing workshops led by youth work specialists with years of experience, or hosting a guest speaker with something to share or teach us about youth ministry practice or theory.

The next Re:Charge is in Rutland. For more details contact Chad on chad.chadwick@peterborough-diocese.org.uk

There are also some Area/Deanery Youth Gatherings coming up soon in Northampton Archdeaconry…

Contact Becky if you’d like to join in any of these events, either taking part or attending. Food will be provided so an idea of numbers would be very useful. All local churches welcome. Come as a group from your church or as individuals if you are one of only a few young people at your church. This is your chance to meet and get to know other young Christians in your area.

There is an exciting new Training Day coming up for Junior Young Leaders

Exciting News! The date for our next Online Worship Gathering has been confirmed – 30th Oct 7.30pm on Twitter @pborodioyouth ‪#‎OWGYouth (stands for Online Worship Gathering) Wherever you are, join us for fun, deep stuff & togetherness…
Do you or your group need help to join us? Just get in touch and ask any questions, or we can come out and help you set it up. Or alternatively, ask a young person!
